Check-In Post March 10th 2024

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: Which craft that you don't already do would you most like to try?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

After a six-month break (who would have thought that quitting the job that gave you burnout, having two months of notice period and then starting a new job would be exhausting?), I picked up a hook again this weekend.
I'm now four small granny squares into the 56 I will need to make a baby blanket for an upcoming niblings.
They're going relatively quickly, and they're easy enough that I can do them while watching light stuff on the tv, unlike amiguri.

You needed time to recover from the burnout, obviously. Hope the new job is less stressful.

Sounds like you're off to a great start with the baby blanket!

The new job is great so far!

The baby blanket is the perfect project to start again: the basis is easy, it's going to be a gift, and there's a deadline 😊

Glad to hear it!

Deadlines do help to maintain focus on a project.

I hope all is going well with the new job and that you are beginning to recover. Good luck with continuing progress with the baby blanket.

Thanks, the new job is great so far!
